🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dysnomia-snapshots [OPTION] OPERATION

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the command dysnomia-snapshots can be used to manage the contents of a store of snapshots. these snapshots capture multiple generations of logical state of mutable components hosted inside a container. it’s giving “time capsule for your container’s state” and honestly? iconic 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

💅 Operations 💅

  • --query-latest — queries the relative paths to the latest snapshots of a collection of components. only the freshest 💖
  • --query-all — queries the relative paths of all snapshots of a collection of components. every single one, no crumbs left behind ✨
  • --check — can be used in combination with the query operations to check the integrity of the snapshots. it’s the vibe check for your snapshots 🔍
  • --print-missing — prints all the paths that do not exist in the snapshots folder. ghost paths? exposed 💀
  • --gc — removes older generations of snapshots of components. garbage collector behavior, but make it clean 🧹
  • --import — moves a snapshot into the snapshots folder. come on in, bestie 🚪✨
  • --resolve — translates the relative snapshot paths into absolute snapshot paths. from “where?” to “exactly there” 🎯
  • -h, --help — shows the usage of this command. the tutorial level 🎮
  • -v, --version — shows the version of this command. identity check 🪪

🌈 General parameters 🌈

  • -c, --component=COMPONENT — name of (or path to) a component containing the logical state of a mutable component. yes, component-ception, we love her 👑
  • -C, --container=CONTAINER — name of (or path to) a configuration describing the container in which the mutable component should be hosted. the container context, periodt 📦
  • --keep=NUM — number of snapshot generations to keep while running the garbage collector. defaults to: 1. keep exactly that many and let --gc do its thing 💅

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • DYSNOMIA_STATEDIR — specifies where the snapshots must be stored on the coordinator machine. defaults to: /var/state/dysnomia. that’s the home address for your snapshots 🏠✨
